My work is about revealing an interpenetrating world.
To that end, I use no manipulation whatsoever.
I work with single-use and iPhone cameras because their limitations give me what I want,
images that are close to the way our minds work.
I want to encourage in myself and in others a kind of perception that leads to deeper reflection, which in turn leads to thinking about what matters personally and socially.

___________________________
New images taken from March to now, the time of the pandemic. (Soon to be a book).
Almost all the Los Angeles Museums had closed, and The Getty Museum would close the next day.
For a while I walked through Los Angeles’ empty streets, seeing mostly what was desolate.
Then I started to see a poetry that I hadn’t always seen in more populated times.
And the light kept changing.
I became fascinated by two buildings close to where I live in Downtown Los Angeles. One was the abandoned L.A. Times, the other was CalTrans headquarters. Both have niches along their outside walls that hold faded photographs. I stood in front of these at various hours of
the day, choosing a detail and letting what was behind me enter the frame.
Sometimes I drive to Point Fermin, the southernmost point of Los Angeles County.
Sometimes I drive to the north of the County, as here in Green Valley.
And I hope and despair, with both in my lens. August, 2020
